Go figure, powerquest guy.

In all seriousness, friend of mine just picked up a 91 12 meter and we are trying to decide on what to do for motors. He has a set of 468's putting out around 550 each that we can pull out of his Baja 280 sport. The boat also came with a set of 468's but the starboard motor has a cracked block. Since you obviously have experience with the hull you might be able to shed some light on what kind of power it's going to take to get this thing moving. Hoping for mid to upper 90's. Would it be better to change the valve train and add blowers or just go ahead and build a set of 509 or 540 blower motors?

I would imagine 800-850 aside should get you in that ball park. Maybe mild thunder will chime in and give you a better idea.

Not to mention drives? Props? Etc... My boat loves a lot of trim (kinda like me) to get her bow up but that's with trs drives.

That looks like one of the best days of boating ever on the water! Great pictures. I knew you guys would get to the 100 page mark in this thread. This thread has definitely been entertaining, and I hope the entertainment continues.
